Also a wise decision.

I am actually wondering how long it will take me to change when I come over there! They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I managed OK in Europe when younger, and of course they ALL have it wrong, being foreigners. But nowdays the old brain works a bit slower ...
And that is no samurai sword sir, it is a 13th century knights' sword. Designed for chopping through armour, cleaving limbs off of peasants, all that sort of thing.
Made in China by Master Chen Chao-Po of Dalian in Liaoning Province I must admit, but to an authentic design! Bloody heavy and bloody sharp too. My favourite toy after my longbow.
I did note the throttle problem but hoped you would have overlooked it. Actually, on the Kinlon it sticks open constantly when I let go (which is a bit perturbing as you may imagine) thus I often end up heading directly into traffic screaming at the top of my voice because of the sticking throttle, false neutral and useless back brake - so I believe it was designed for just this usage.
F U seems very appropriate! I bet you said it a few times?Quote:

Much appreciated neilmac, looked them up but at $80 as you suggest, not worth it! I have taken to pieces an old mirror, and found and dismantled a flexible lamp shaft. All I have to do now is put them back together in some way! The local engineering shop charge $80 just to talk to you - they quoted me that just to look at my pics of a rear rack design before even doing any work - so it is a case of me and my shed, and some araldite. But I will also go to the plumbing store and have a look at bits and pieces.
Jape, how about something simple like these:

Anyone heard of the Reevu? A helmet with a some built in rear view via some optical voodoo magic going on inside (a series of tiny mirrors).

Personally, I shoulder check everytime, and my ears still work well, both of them. I still have one useless mirror hanging on the bike. Maybe I'll use it to shave one day in the wild.
